From Southside High School

Twenty-five members of the Southside High School Math Club shared some of their holiday cheer when they visited Ridgewood Nursing Home after school on Monday, December 10. Members of the club brought almost 400 items to be given to residents in the form of Christmas presents who have no family that visit them. They also provided homemade Christmas cards to be opened during the Christmas season. Members sang Christmas carols and were accompanied on the guitar by Madison Hudson and Walton White, and on the ukulele by Kylie Bowden. Residents joined in on the fun by singing with the club members. Advisors of the club are Tina Petty and Lisa Johnson.

Members of the Math Club are continuing to collect pop tabs from soda cans, soup cans, pet food, etc. to benefit the Ronald McDonald House of Greenville. All the schools on the south side of the river have joined forces to raise money for the families of sick children by serving as drop off locations for the pop tabs (Southside High School, Chocowinity Middle School, Chocowinity Primary School, and Snowden School). Math Club members will also support the Ronald McDonald House in the spring by participating in the annual Sport a Shirt, Share a Night fundraiser, collecting wish list items to donate, and making door decorations. The club appreciates all those who support their efforts.
